Anne Widya isn’t a chef, she’s an artist. We know that lots of chefs say that, but Anne actually makes works of art. Out of food. The mother of four, who lives in Hong Kong, says, “Sometimes I wake up very early to make breakfast art for my kids.”
And it is truly something to behold. Look at this Snoopy:

That Snoopy is made of cream cheese and strawberries!
News: A restaurant in England serves this 8,000 calories breakfast
Anne seems to prefer doing cats though. Like Hello Kitty:

On Wednesday, Hello Kitty fans were rocked by the news that the Sanrio character isn't actually a cat. The Japanese company revealed Hello Kitty is a third grade girl from Britain named Kitty White who enjoys dressing up as a feline and eating apple pie. It is unclear how this shocking announcement will affect Hello Kitty's global appeal, but is hard to see Sanrio mania stopping anytime soon. For 40 years, Hello Kitty's bewhiskered face has been popping up on products worldwide. The phenomenon started with Hello Kitty pencil cases and coin purses, but has grown into something much more impressive over the decades.

They're funny, they're sad, they're weird. Here are 50 famous last words from characters in the movies...
Please Note: There are potential spoilers ahead. Check the name of the film, and if you haven't seen it, don't read the entry!
As someone famous probably once said, “We’ve all gotta go sometime,” and if we’re going to die, we might as well do so with a witticism or a memorable line rather than a scream and a cry for mother.

Some of these last words are long, tear-jerking monologues. Others amount to little more than a word or two. But all of them, in our estimation, are worthy of mention, and one...
